When the Wilder Kaiser is covered in white, the world becomes still, and a sense of calm spreads. Then, the magic of winter is truly felt. I invite you to experience this enchantment with me.

Skiers will be in heaven here: Over 270 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes, modern lift systems, and numerous runs for every level will make the heart of any winter sports enthusiast beat faster. The Wilder Kaiser-Brixental ski region is one of Austria’s largest and most popular ski areas, offering the perfect slope for every taste.

Thanks to the region’s reliable snow conditions, which are among the best in the area, winter sports enthusiasts can expect excellent conditions from the start to the end of the season.
Off the Slopes – Winter Hiking
But there are countless ways to enjoy winter to the fullest, even off the slopes. I love how the snow envelops the world in a quiet calm, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life disappears beneath a soft, snowy blanket. Imagine yourself walking through freshly fallen snow, breathing in the crisp mountain air, and being enchanted by the untouched nature. In Ellmau and the surrounding area, you’ll find numerous winter hiking trails that take you on a journey through snow-covered forests and sparkling meadows. The silence of the winter landscape, the snow-covered trees, the crunch of the snow beneath your feet, and the view of the Wilder Kaiser will touch your soul.
Cross-Country Skiing and Trails in a Winter Wonderland
For cross-country skiers, the region around Ellmau offers perfectly groomed trails where you can experience the winter landscape in a truly special way. The trails take you straight into the heart of the Tyrolean Alps – from gentle hills to longer stretches through deep snow-covered forests that transport you to another world. As you glide through the untouched nature, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the majestic Wilder Kaiser, whose peaks shine in the winter stillness. Here, you can enjoy the vast, pristine nature without the hustle and bustle of the slopes.
Snowshoe Hiking – The Peace and Intimacy of Nature
Snowshoe hiking is also very popular. Off the beaten path, you can explore the snow-covered forests of the Wilder Kaiser on your own. It’s this intimate encounter with nature that makes snowshoe hiking so unique. The wide, untouched snow, the fresh air, and the silence – you’ll feel as if time has stood still, allowing you to enjoy the winter beauty all to yourself. Every step in the deep snow lets you experience the peace and magic of nature to the fullest.
Enjoy Winter Magic – Alpine Huts and Tyrolean Hospitality
And even if you’re not in the mood for sports activities, the region offers plenty of opportunities to lose yourself in the winter magic. The cozy alpine huts and rustic inns invite you to end your day with a warm drink or a hearty Tyrolean specialty. The scent of freshly baked cakes, the crackling warmth of the fireplace, and the warm hospitality will make you feel truly at home.
